Edwin van der Sar has signed a one-year contract extension, which will take him past his 40th birthday. Tomasz Kuszczak has proved to be a reliable deputy but seems to lack the quality to be No.1. Ben Foster failed to step up this season.

Probably the most stable area. Doubts persist over Nemanja Vidicâs long-term future but if the Serbia centre-back stays, his partnership with Rio Ferdinand is still effective. Patrice Evra is assured at left-back while John OâShea and Wes Brown can fill the right-back role until Rafael is ready to do so on a full-time basis.

Naniâs form has improved since Christmas and earned him a new deal. Antonio Valencia has settled and produced some good displays. In the centre, Darren Fletcher can hold his head up. But Michael Carrickâs contribution has been fitful this term. Anderson failed to impress before his injury, Owen Hargreaves is yet to test his fragile body and Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are nearing the end of their careers.

Wayne Rooney is an automatic choice. Dimitar Berbatov has failed and the Bulgarian could be set for the exit. Michael Owen was not a central figure before injury and is unlikely ever to be. Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck have promise but yet to realise potential. United did buy Mexican Javier Hernandez, 21, yesterday from Chivas. Expect more signings.
